Why are rhesus macaques superior paraphernalia for experimentation?

Tigers are the largest of the cat family. It is huge, with a body length of about 119 to 290 centimeters, and among the subspecies, the Northeast tiger is the largest, while the Sumatran tiger is the smallest. The color of the tiger's body hair varies from light yellow to orange-red. Their huge bodies are covered with black or dark brown horizontal stripes that extend down to the chest and abdomen, where the undercoat is light, usually cream colored. The Northeast tiger, which lives in eastern Russia and northern China, has the longest body hair among the subspecies, and that is to protect it from the cold of the north. In general, all tigers have longer hair in winter than in summer, and their body hair is lighter in color and pattern. Tigers have a rounded skull and a ring of longer cheek hairs surrounding their cheeks, which gives them an imposing appearance. Male tigers generally have longer cheek hairs than females, especially Sumatran tigers. Tigers have a longer snout bone and their snouts are usually pink, sometimes with black spots. Their ears are short and shaped like half-nets, and the backs of the ears are black, with a large, distinctive white spot in the center as well. The tiger's limbs are strong and powerful, with the forelimbs being more robust than the hind limbs. Their tails are thick and long and are encircled by black rings, and the tip of the tail is usually black.

Tigers are essentially nocturnal creatures who practice bachelorhood, though in some reserves far from humans, these guys come out during the day. Tigers living in the cold north sometimes have to hunt around during the day. They usually prey on large mammals, including a variety of deer, sheep, bison, and wild boar. Sometimes they also catch small animals like birds, monkeys, fish and so on. They are said to eat even insects and berries, and to aid digestion, they also occasionally nibble on grass. Sometimes when they are very hungry, tigers will also prey on human livestock and even kill people (man-eating tigers are often the poor guys who are too old and weak to deal with healthy animals, and this kind of tragedy usually only happens when humans enter the tiger's territory), and are therefore hated by some humans. If they can't finish their food, they will also hide the rest, usually not far from a water source, and wait a few days to come back for more.

Although tigers are solitary animals and have their own territories, males may still spend a lot of time with their mates and children. Adult tigers, especially siblings are likely to collaborate with each other over a period of time (it is unknown whether this is permanent or not) to *** enjoy the harvest. Tigers use scratching on tree trunks and spraying feces to delineate the extent of their territories, and a male tiger may have more than one female in his territory, although territories may not overlap between females. Male tigers defend their territories rigorously, and when a territory is too large, it is inevitable that someone will try to take advantage of it. In the face of shameless intruders, male tigers usually follow the policy of killing without mercy, and this will also reduce their future competitors. Female tigers are usually not so bored, and even if their neighbors die, she may not go to open up the territory.

Tigers don't like hot weather because they lack sweat glands, and when summer arrives they invariably seek out shade. Because of their swimming skills, they are very fond of water, and tigers in hot areas especially enjoy bathing and playing in pools of water. However, their tree-climbing skills are far inferior to their swimming skills, presumably due to their size and weight.......

Tigers do not have a fixed breeding season, but they often look for their sweethearts between November and April each year. At this time of year, a female tiger may have several admirers in pursuit, but of course, only the winner of the contest can win the beauty's love. The gestation period of a female tiger is about 93 to 112 days and she usually gives birth to 2 to 3 babies at a time and may give birth to up to 7! The babies usually open their eyes after 6 to 14 days, learn to walk in about 20 days, are weaned at 5 to 6 months, and can hunt with their mother when they reach a year old. Although they can fend for themselves, the kids will usually remain with their mom until they are about 2 years old. Northeastern tigers may grow slower, and there are even records of youngsters staying with their moms for four years. Usually these older kids leave their mother when she has another group of babies, but of course, there are very few that may still stick around and just refuse to leave. Young female tigers generally become sexually mature at 36 to 48 months, while males take 48 to 60 months. The longest-lived tiger on record in captivity lived for 26 years.

Eight subspecies of tiger have been recognized to date, but three are extinct:

Bengal tiger: found in the Indo-Chinese Peninsula, with an estimated population of about 3,060 to 4,735.

The West Asian tiger: found in Turkey, central and western Asia, became extinct in the 1970s.

North-Eastern Tiger (also known as Siberian Tiger): distributed along the Sino-Soviet border of Heilongjiang and Korea, with an estimated population of 437 to 506.

Javan tiger: distributed in Java, Indonesia, and became extinct in the 1980s.

South China tiger: distributed in the southern part of central China, with an estimated population of about 20 to 30 individuals.

Bali tiger: distributed in Bali, Indonesia, extinct in 1940s.

Sumatran tiger: distributed in Sumatra, Indonesia, with an estimated population of about 400 to 500 individuals.

Southeast Asian tiger: distributed in mainland Southeast Asia, with an estimated population of about 1,180 to 1,790. </p

The remaining five species of tigers are found in India, Southeast Asia, China, and the northeastern part of the country to the Russian Far East. In general tigers are forest-dwelling animals, and they are adapted to swamps and grasslands at the edge of woodlands as long as they are not far from water sources. In China, there are four subspecies of tigers surviving, namely, the Bengal tiger, which is mainly distributed in southern Tibet and western Yunnan; the Indochinese tiger, which is mainly distributed in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan and southwestern Guangxi; the South China tiger, a subspecies endemic to our country, and therefore also known as the Chinese tiger, which is distributed in the southern region of China, and is basically equivalent to the extinction of the tiger after the tiger-fighting campaign that shocked the world in the 50s and 60s; the northeastern tiger, which is distributed in Hunchun County in Jilin Province

The Northeast Tiger, Hunchun County, Jilin Province.

The tiger's head and body length: 1.4 to 2.8 meters; tail length: 0.6 to 0.9 meters. The northeastern tiger is the largest cat in existence: males weigh about 180 to 306 kilograms and females about 100 to 167 kilograms. The tiger's habitat is diverse, with dense vegetation, sufficient prey and water sources being the most important conditions for survival.

Tigers are carnivores. It hunts a wide variety of animals for food, usually between dawn and sunset, and mainly feeds on large mammals such as pigs, deer, antelopes, buffaloes and Indian bison. Tigers can hunt prey larger than their own size, a tiger weighing about 100 to 250 kilograms can hunt an Indian bison weighing 900 kilograms, the wild pachyderm tiger can eat 40 kilograms of meat each time, in the case of unmolested, they are generally in the capture of prey in three to six days after the return to the hunting grounds to enjoy the rest of the food, until food is heard to the end of a few before they give up.

The tiger is an excellent hunter, and when it encounters prey, it will crouch down and look for cover, slowly approaching, and then when the prey comes within striking distance, it will suddenly leap out and attack the back, in order to avoid being injured by the prey's resistance. The tiger will first use its claws to scratch through the prey's back and drag it to the ground, and then use its sharp canines to bite its throat to make it suffocate, or else bite off the cervical vertebrae until the prey is dead before letting go of its mouth. This type of attack is also the most typical attack method of felines.

But tigers have a 90% chance of missing when they catch their prey, so it is clear that under natural conditions, tigers do not cause their prey to become extinct, nor do they have any significant impact on their prey populations. However, as humans continue to destroy the tiger's habitat, cut and burn plants, and kill the animals on which it depends, the tiger's survival is threatened.

The range of the tiger varies according to habitat and prey distribution, with the Indian range, for example, covering an area of about 500 to 1,000 square kilometers, and the largest range, about 10,500 square kilometers, located in eastern Siberia.

Tigers are different from other cats in that they are good swimmers, with one tiger recorded swimming up to 29 kilometers in the past.

At the beginning of this century, there were believed to be 100,000 tigers in Asia***, but the number has since shrunk by several percent, with fewer than 7,000 tigers remaining in the wild. Hunting and killing of tigers for commercial purposes, a decline in their food supply, and loss of habitat are the main threats to tigers. The future of the tiger depends on the preservation of existing habitats and the ability of mankind to stop the illegal hunting crisis in its entirety.

Tigers have long been hunted for their skins, taxidermy and ornaments, as well as for their body parts for the development of traditional Chinese medicine. In the late 19th century and early 2000s, tiger shooting became a sport, and in 1911, 39 tigers were shot by the same group of people in Nepal in just 11 days. In China, tigers were regarded as "pests" and there was a bounty for killing them. In the 30 years from the 1940s to the 1970s, 3,000 South China tigers were hunted and killed. In the past, tiger skin was the main reason for killing tigers, but in recent years, tigers have been killed in order to obtain tiger bones for pharmaceuticals, and the issue of killing tigers for their bones has attracted much attention from various quarters.

In the past, traditional Chinese medicine believed that all parts of the tiger's body could be used as medicines for medical purposes, but most of the medicinal uses are no longer common. In recent years, Chinese medicine practitioners have mainly used the humerus bone of the tiger as a medicine for rheumatism, and at the same time, the tiger bone can be crushed into powder to be made into pills, poultices, or immersed in the tiger bone medicinal wine. Since 1993, the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China has deleted the use of tiger bone as medicine. However, medicines containing tiger bone are still widely sold in many Asian, European and North American countries.

In December 1997, WWF sponsored a groundbreaking conference that brought together traditional East Asian medicine practitioners, pharmaceutical companies, researchers and academics, along with environmentalists***, to discuss the use of other animal bones as substitutes for tiger bone in East Asian medicine. Researchers at the meeting explained the benefits of tiger bones from a number of wild and bred species, and expressed hope that China will soon replace tiger bones with other materials, but only if they do not jeopardize another species of wildlife.

The most effective way to combat the illegal trade in tiger body parts is to raise awareness among users. Once users are aware of the trade restrictions, they must comply with the law. The first step is to make them aware of the tiger's condition and encourage them to join in the fight to save the tiger, including by banning the use of tiger body parts and derivatives.

As the population in tiger habitats continues to grow, housing, agriculture and other human activities are contributing to the decline of tiger habitats. Not only are they shrinking in size, but even previously wild areas are becoming fragmented and difficult to use as tiger habitat. Currently, the world's 5,000-7,000 tigers are dispersed into more than 160 small communities. Some of these areas have been devastated by human logging and hunting of tiger prey, and the tiger population may not be able to reproduce due to the dwindling number of tigers. Currently, the South China tiger's habitat is fragmented, and although there are some positive plans to link some of these small habitats into major conservation areas, it is unlikely that this will be done in time for the sub-species to become completely extinct.

Human hunting of wildlife has reduced the tiger's food supply, posing a serious threat to the tiger, even in large protected areas. Studies have shown that if the number of prey falls below the standard of two to five animals per square kilometer, tigers are unlikely to be able to reproduce successfully, and in 1991, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) funded a study of the South China tiger that showed that although no tigers had been killed in the reserve, the killing of hogs and deer in the area posed a threat to the survival of the tigers. Reduced tiger food is also an important issue in other protected areas. At the same time, livestock grazing in protected areas not only leads to competition between livestock and wildlife for food, but also greatly reduces the amount of vegetation in which tigers and their prey can hide, which may also indirectly transmit diseases and wildlife. With less food for the tigers, their distribution is becoming more and more fragmented, and as human activities affect the ecology of the reserve and the neighboring areas, the tiger population will also decrease.

Tiger conservation requires a complete cessation of the trade in tigers and their body parts, and the preservation of existing tiger reserves. The identification of large 'tiger conservation sites', including key habitats and complete prey communities, is the first step towards effective implementation of conservation efforts to ensure that these beautiful creatures continue to thrive. This will be followed by innovative management planning to balance the conflicting needs of the people and the tigers in the area. All of these are major challenges that humanity must face as it enters the 21st century.

Tigers have been extremely unlucky in recent times, with people coveting tiger bones, skins and other products, and viciously hating them because they prey on domestic animals (man-eating tigers are rare). In the past, human beings did not have much ability to "change" nature, especially not many powerful anti-personnel weapons, so tigers, as well as other animals around the globe, lived in peace. In recent times, when humans have made themselves masters of nature, everything has changed. ...... Below is a brief description of the number of surviving subspecies of each of the five species.

The South China tiger

Also known as the Xiamen tiger and the South China tiger, it is a subspecies endemic to China, a first-class protected animal, and was originally one of the most widely distributed and numerous tigers in China, with a smaller body size but the oldest qualifications. There is only one kind of tiger in the world, all of them are produced in Asia, there are eight subspecies in the nineteenth century fashion: Bengal tiger, northeastern tiger, Java tiger, South China tiger, Caspian tiger, Bali tiger, Sumatran tiger, but the latter three subspecies became extinct one after another, and the Xinjiang tiger in China (it has not yet been clarified to which subspecies it belongs to) became extinct at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Fossils of modern tigers first appeared at Gonggongling, Lantian, Shaanxi. The estimated date is the early Middle Pleistocene, i.e., about 600,000 years ago.In 1998, Academician Qiu Guixiang of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) suggested that the earliest-aged tiger fossil among those that have been found in China may be the approximately 2 million-year-old (the fossil-containing lithology is lateritic) Paleo-Chinese tiger ( Pantheratigrispalaeosinensis was established in 1924 by the Swedish paleontologist ZdanskY. This specimen was unearthed at locality 38 in Langou, Mianchi, Henan Province, and a new specimen has recently been unearthed in Gansu, but at present specimens of this species are very rare. At present, specimens of this species are very rare, and there are only three skulls in the world, one of which is abroad, while the remaining two are preserved in Beijing. In 1967, Prof. Hemmer of the University of Gutenberg, Germany, a renowned feline zoologist, wrote a paper discussing in detail the nature of this species, and after studying it in great detail, he concluded that most of the characteristics were close to those of tigers, but some of the characteristics were unique to the American leopard as well. He also concluded that the Palaeo-Chinese tiger was a subspecies of the tiger (Pantheratigris palaeosinensis).

The scientific name Pantheratigris amoyensis (South China tiger) was given by the German taxonomist Hilzheimer in 1905 on the basis of five specimens of tiger skulls from Hankou (present-day Wuhan). amoyensis is the Latinized name for amoy (Xiamen), because the South China tiger was first discovered by an American biologist. The name amoyensis is a Latinized version of amoy (Xiamen), because the South China tiger was first discovered on Xiamen Island by an American biologist. The skull of the South China tiger is significantly smaller than that of the Northeast tiger and the Indian tiger, with the average length of the male tiger's skull being only 318 millimeters.

The South China tiger lives in south-central China and is the smallest of the subspecies. The male South China tiger is about 2.5 meters long and weighs about 149 to 225 kilograms, while the female is a bit smaller, about 2.3 meters long and weighs about 90 to 120 kilograms. Compared with the Bengal tiger and the Siberian tiger, the short and wide markings on the South China tiger are widely spaced. A female South China tiger's pregnancy lasts for about 103 days, and she can give birth to two or three cubs at a time on average. In less than two years, the cubs can learn to hunt and have the ability to reproduce at the age of three or four. The South China tiger is endangered, with a population of about 20 in the wild, distributed in isolated islands and with a scarcity of prey. The South China tiger was listed as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red Book in 1996, one of the ten most critically endangered species.

The South China tiger is endangered because of hunting and killing in the 1950s and a campaign to "get rid of the pests" in the 1960s. 530 tigers and leopards were hunted and killed by troops and militia in Fujian in the winter of 1956. In the winter of 1956, troops and militia in Fujian killed 530 tigers and leopards. in Jiangxi, more than 150 tigers were killed in Nanchang, Jiujiang, Ji'an, and Fuzhou. in the winter of 1959, more than 30 tigers and leopards were hunted in Guizhou. in 1963, 17 tigers were hunted in the northern part of Guangdong, and 17 were hunted in the Leizhou Peninsula. a professional tiger hunting team killed more than 130 tigers in the eastern part of Guangdong, the western part of Fujian, and the southern part of Gannan*** between 1953 and 1963, Leopard. The tiger's treatment as a "pest" was a fatal blow to the South China tiger.

Compared with the northeastern tiger, the fate of the South China tiger is much worse. February 1959, the Ministry of Forestry issued a directive, the South China tiger is categorized as a pest animal with bears, leopards and wolves, and called on hunters to "go all out to catch and kill"; while the northeastern tiger is included in the same category of protected animals as pandas, golden monkeys and loris monkeys and can be captured alive, but not killed. The tiger is listed in the same category of protected animals as the panda, golden monkey and gibbon monkey, and can be captured alive but not killed.

In September 1962, the State Council issued a directive on the protection and rational use of wildlife resources, listing 19 species of animals that were strictly prohibited from being hunted and protected in some areas. The South China tiger was again excluded, and in May 1973, the Ministry of Agriculture banned the hunting of the Northeast tiger and the Bengal tiger, while allowing an annual controlled quota of South China tigers to be hunted. The number of tigers to be hunted each year was to be controlled by the local agricultural department in accordance with the principle of "systematically ensuring the continuous growth of the population". However, the number of South China tigers not only did not grow, but continued to decline. 1977 revised the regulations, the northeast tiger placed in the first of the protected species, South China tigers and Bengal tigers listed as the second category of the ban on hunting, but this provision due to the lack of supporting measures, can not be strictly enforced, so that the South China tigers have been to the brink of extinction.

On September 25, 1998, three South China tigers were flown to Xiamen from the Suzhou East Park Management Zoo and then transported to Meihuashan, a Grade A national nature reserve in western Fujian, thus opening the prelude to China's efforts to save this endangered species of tiger.

It was once widely believed that the wild South China tiger was already extinct. But a team of experts headed by Prof. Carl Kohler of the University of Idaho's Institute of Zoology was surprised to find hanging claws, tiger dung, tiger hair and other traces of the wild South China tiger's frequent activities, and confirmed that one of the footprints was that of a wild South China tiger after an expedition to the Meihuashan Mountain area in recent years.

They said in their research report that the wild South China tiger population still exists in this pristine forest area, and that Potpourri Mountain is the most suitable habitat for the South China tiger. The work of Chinese conservationists such as Liao Xiansheng has been "very helpful".

Potter's Bottle Mountain is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with its main peak nearly 2,100 meters above sea level. Less affected by the Earth's Tertiary sea flooding and Quaternary glacial movements, it is an ideal "sanctuary" for terrestrial life in south-central China, where more than 140 species of rare plants and animals remain, including clouded leopards, golden leopards, water deer, roe deer and black bears.

Liao Xiansheng is the director of the Natural Resource Management Center at Huabuishan. Growing up here since he was a child, he has witnessed the Jugu Mountain go from being infested with tigers and leopards to being nearly extinct. "Tigers rarely hurt people, and if people and tigers meet, the tigers will disappear first. But they have suffered because of endless human development. We can't stand by and watch the South China tiger go extinct."

"Tigers have a life span of only 30 to 40 years, and if a population had not formed, the last South China tigers would have gone extinct long ago, and it is unlikely that they would have been seen so often in recent years," he said, adding, "According to my observations and surveys, there are six to 10 tigers in the Pot Bottle Mountains alone. "

The Amur tiger

Alias: Siberian tiger, Manchurian tiger, Northeast tiger.

The northeastern tiger is the largest extant feline, with an average body length of 1.8 to 2.8 meters, a tail length of 0.9 meters, and a body weight of 227 to 272 kilograms, with the largest recorded weight exceeding 300 kilograms. It is distributed in the northeastern part of China and seen abroad in Siberia. Inhabits forests, shrubs and wild grassy areas. Solitary, not sedentary, with domain behavior, nocturnal. Sensitive senses, ferocious, swift, good swimmer. Preys on large and medium-sized mammals, occasionally small mammals and birds.

Wild northeast tiger cubs have to live with their mothers for 2 to 3 years to learn the skills of hunting before living independently. Breeding period in winter, gestation period of 98 to 110 days, each birth 2 to 4 cubs, 3 to 4 years old sexual maturity, life expectancy of 20 to 25 years.

There are only 400 wild northeast tigers in existence, most of which are distributed in Russia, with less than 20 in China, and there is no trace of the northeast tiger on the Korean Peninsula anymore.

The Indo-Chinese tiger: lives in Southeast Asia and parts of China. As there are several national borders crossing the deep forests where the Indochinese tigers live, it is relatively difficult to enter and leave the habitat of the Indochinese tigers, which protects their existence. It is estimated that there may be 1,180 to 1,790 Indochinese tigers left in the wild.

The Bengal tiger (Indian tiger)

They are the most numerous of the five remaining subspecies. The Indian government is to be admired for its foresight as well as its remarkable efforts to protect the Indian tigers. They formulated the Indian Tiger Conservation Program in the 1970s, for which they established and implemented dozens of nature reserves. Today, there are about 3,500 to 4,000 wild Indian tigers, accounting for about half of the global tiger population. The biggest danger to the Indian tiger now is poachers.

The Sumatran tiger

lives on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, where it may now number 400 to 500.

Poaching frenzy because of commercial interests and continued destruction of wildlife habitat are now the main threats to the tigers' survival. They have suffered devastation over the past decades, paying in vain for some of the ridiculous moves we humans have made. The future of the tigers lies in the hands of mankind. Whether we continue to be short-sighted and greedy and choose to let them perish, or abandon our ignorance and do our best to live in harmony with animals***, it is entirely up to us to make the choice. To know, as a part of the ecosphere, the protection of animals is in fact the protection of our own, the destruction of nature and the extinction of species, as open Pandora's box, human beings can afford such a price? ......

The tiger is an extremely important part of Chinese cultural tradition, and for a long time, it has been taken as a symbol of power and strength, and has always been revered by people. Ranking second in the Chinese Zodiac and considered the ruler of all beasts in the world, people born in the Year of the Tiger are considered to be heroic and optimistic, as well as tolerant and generous, capable of living a long life and good at leading rather than obeying.

The pattern on the tiger's forehead forms the Chinese character for "king", which is in fact derived from tiger. The tiger is the king of the forest, so the Chinese cleverly used the pattern on its forehead as a Chinese character meaning ruler. Today, this character is one of the hundred family names. The tiger is a very masculine animal that possesses bravery and majesty. The tiger is also considered to be the king of the mountain and is said to be able to drive away all evil. In times of war, tiger heads were painted on warriors' shields to deter enemies.

In Chinese lore, tigers are believed to be extremely powerful animals that can ward off three major calamities in the home: fire, theft and evil. Tiger paintings were often hung on the wall and faced the front door to keep demons away in fear. Even in contemporary China, children wear tiger hats and shoes to ward off evil spirits, while others sleep on tiger pillows to make themselves stronger. In the Year of the Tiger, children have the word "king" written in red on their heads to seemingly boost their energy and vitality. In early China, the tiger was the main animal deity and was believed to be able to ward off droughts. It was also believed that a tiger would turn white after 500 years and then live for another 1,000 years, and that when they died, their souls would seep into the ground and turn into amber, which is where the word "amber" came from, meaning This is the origin of the word "amber", which means "tiger's soul". The tiger is a symbol of high prestige, and the words "recuse" and "silence" can be found in early Chinese courts. Tiger symbol: A wooden block in the shape of a tiger is a symbol of military orders given directly by the emperor; ancient robber leaders also spread tiger skins on their seats to show their supremacy. Chinese idioms with the character for tiger: dragons and tigers leaping, tigers and tigers, like tigers with wings.

The image and title of the tiger have appeared in songs, dances and dramas through the ages, such as the Yuan Dynasty's miscellaneous opera "Tiger's Headboard", the Qing Dynasty's legend "Tiger's Bomb", the Kunqu opera "Tiger's Bomb", and the Peking Operas "Tiger's Jail", "Crouching Tiger's Gully", "The Rouge Tiger", and so on, to name but a few. Two of them showing people and fighting scenes are the most exciting. One of them is called "Huang Gong of the Eastern Sea", which is a kind of "Jiao Ruo Opera" popularized near Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty, "Xijing Miscellany" has a detailed record of this: "Dongmei people Huang Gong, when he was young for the failure to make the snake Royal Tiger Pei red gold knife, to Jiang Zeng tied his hair, standing up clouds and mist sitting into the mountains and rivers, and the aging of qigong win exhaustion, drinking too much can not be restored to its art. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there is a white tiger in the East China Sea, Huang Gong is a red knife to hate, the art is not working, then killed for the tiger. The three auxiliaries then thought that the play. The Han Emperor also took as the corner of the theater horse." It seems that the power of the tiger here is still fearful, because like the East China Sea Huang Gong as a martial arts, magic people still did not fight over the tiger, and finally in vain to give up their lives. Adapted from the classical novel "Water Margin", the Peking Opera and other local operas "Wu Sung fights the tiger", also shows the fight between man and tiger, but the result is exactly the opposite of "Huang Gong of the East China Sea", Wu Sung kills the tiger and becomes the hero of the tiger fight. In our country about the tiger's vocabulary also has a lot of pejorative, such as "for the tiger as a devourer" describes itself by the tiger, but also driven to harm the ugly qualities of other snobs; "lone fake tiger" is outlined a picture of the power of the lackey face. In our country's folk fairy tale, there is also a widely circulated "tiger learning the art of" story: although the tiger in the mountains and forests in the mighty, walk around in a big way, but there is a biggest weakness, is not on the tree. Because long ago, the tiger had no skills at all, he had to learn all kinds of skills from the cat. Enthusiastic cat soon taught it vertical, jumping, leaping, pouncing and other skills, but also found the tiger's vicious and brutal nature, in the process of teaching a hand. When the tiger felt that he had completely learned the cat's skills, it was a reversal of course, revenge, even pounced on the cat to eat a mouthful of it. The cat, however, did not panic, agile and dexterous, climbed to the top of the tree, and was spared. The tiger squatted under the tree at his wit's end, and begged the cat to teach him how to climb the tree. The cat was no longer fooled, and the tiger finally failed to learn how to climb the tree. Lu You, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his note to Jiannan Poetry Draft - Mocking Cats: "It is said that the cat is the tiger's uncle, and it teaches the tiger a hundred things, but it does not teach it to go up the tree." This story bitterly satirizes those ungrateful and ungrateful villains. As for the tiger as the name of the place, the name of the person, and then deduce the story legend, anecdote, is even more countless. The Year of the Tiger in the traditional Chinese zodiac culture is a joyous festival that comes every 12 years. As China is one of the influential big countries in the world, its population ranks first in the world. With the constant migration of population, Chinese people can be found in almost every corner of the world. Wherever they go, they are bound to bring some traditional Chinese culture with them to a greater or lesser extent, and the traditional Chinese Zodiac culture is what the vast majority of overseas Chinese who are far away from their hometowns find it difficult to discard, and at the same time, it is also gradually being accepted by other nationalities in the world. In this regard, in recent years, the custom of naming the year with twelve animals, not only in Asian countries and Russia and other growing influence, but also quietly spread to Europe and the United States, especially about the origins of the Year of the Tiger and a variety of legends, a variety of media are happy to widely publicized, so that the Year of the Tiger has become a veritable tiger, "the year of the tiger".
